Also, the 12A motors had a 3.90 ratio while the 13B motors (GSL-SE) had a 4.10.

Anyone have a spare 1.8liter Miata motor?
It'd be going into a 1994 C package. Thanks!

I am going to quit my job, sell my house, and devote my life to following you around and worshipping you as the god you truly are.

Wow. Congratulations on having built and enjoyed the Miata and on this next adventure.

I hope you'll do a nice build log, a la Keith Tanner??

It's pretty impressive to see the work you are doing, and the success. Congratulations! I'm interested: 1. Where did you get the parts and pieces you bought? 2. Ignoring your time and labor, how much money have you spent on the car since you bought it? I may have a shot at a similar car - rougher mo...

There was a guy on Craigslist parting out a 2002 Protege a month or two ago. I think he was in Arvada, maybe?
I probably still have his phone number somewhere - PM or EM me if you need it.

IIRC, it was a complete car, a little banged up, but he had no title so was parting it out.

Thank you! Yes, that's what I'm hearing. So, looking at some Kicker 4 ohm speakers: Front Kicker KS68 http://www.crutchfield.com/S-pIBX3E5PuCv/p_206KS68/Kicker-KS68.html?tp=93 Rear Kicker 40CS674 http://www.crutchfield.com/p_2064CS674/Kicker-40CS674.html?tp=94 Open to suggestions on other rears, esp...

Thanks for the help. The Kenwood is the clear winner. But what about Ohms? Here's a Chat conversation I had with the guy at Crutchfield. CJ: Welcome to Crutchfield Chat. I'm CJ, and I'm a product advisor. How can I help you today? ME: I'm looking at the Kenwood KDC-BT555U with a set of Infinity 6032...

Looking for wise input on buying a new car stereo for my 2002 Protege5. A replacement and minor upgrade, this won't be a trunk full of funk. Might get a subwoofer later, but probably not. Listen to mostly classic rock, NPR news, some classical. Used to no subwoofer. Top choices are Pioneer DEH-X6500...

Email sent - thanks! (Please let me know if you don't receive it- Yahoo has been weird tonight.)

Thanks! Yeah, so far I'm really enjoying it. It's even better now that the low tire went from 20psi to 35 - whoops! Did some radio shopping last night - clueless on what speakers to get! Boy, though, zipping around in this thing makes me glad I didn't get the $14K Mazdaspeed3 I drove. That 260hp wou...

Just got myself a 2002 Protege5, silver, 5-speed, from the original owner with 110K. Pretty psyched! Had an automatic one a few years ago and loved it, so very happy to find this. Car seems very well-maintained. I got a three ring binder with hole-punched receipts and haven't read it yet. Radiator r...

Incredibly exciting news!
The seats and door panels are available! Free!
(Or I'll make the seats in to office chairs.)

I've sold my street and race Rx-7s and trailer and have some parts left over. Everything is for a 12A, 1985 spec. two distributors - $150 each igniters - $90 each water pump - Mazda original door weatherstripping - used, good shape - $40 for L&R window regulators - left and right -new old stock - $1...

Thanks, Justin. Nice looking car, but seems enthusiastically priced at $8K even with such low miles. If it was a wagon, I'd be way tempted.

Chromal - I agree. They really got the lines right on that Protege5. I had one a few years ago - an automatic for my then-wife. Great car except the tranny.

I'm looking to buy a daily driver, like a 2002-2003 Protege5 five-speed. Even better, a Mazdaspeed Protege5!

Or something similar. Please PM or EM me if you have a car, info, or suggestions.

Thank you.
